Navpoint

Navpoint is a space action strategy game in which you manage starship traffic from the Navigos Traffic Control Station. With a fleet of Police Frigates, Customs Clippers and Tugboats, you guide cargo ships, couriers, luxury liners and cruisers safely to their destinations.

Manage the station

Build cargo and passenger docks, repair and refuelling stations, and defence satellites. Develop solar infrastructure to earn profits from passing ships, while setting the speed and heading of shipping, including cruisers, cargo ships, luxury liners and frigates.

You respond to political tensions and emergencies alongside the demands of routine traffic control. Refugees, aliens, pirates, smugglers, travelling film stars, terrorists, floods, sunspot radiation, wormholes, meteors and nebulas can all complicate operations.

Campaign and freeplay

In the single-player campaign, you begin your career on a backwater moon and work towards commanding Earth, the solar system’s commercial centre. Freeplay offers dozens of maps to play as you choose.

Incidents and hazards

Scenarios and events call for different responses:

• Breaking news: Resolve challenges such as refugee floods, quarantined plague ships, travelling superstars, terrorist threats and natural disasters.
• Pirate raiders: Send police cutters to intercept pirates and protect your airspace.
• Racial tensions: The Duug and Khaat have a long-standing rivalry; keeping them together for too long can lead to trouble.
• Customs and immigration: Use customs clippers to search suspicious craft for contraband.
• Rescue: Send tugboats to assist damaged or disabled craft before it is too late.
• Cargo docks and couriers: Guide commercial ships safely to dock and get high-speed priority couriers to their destinations.
• Asteroids and meteors: Clear space debris with tugboats to prevent disruptions to shipping.
• Sunspots: Keep ships clear of dangerous solar activity that can disable them.
• Wormholes: Ships may be transported across space by unpredictable rifts in time and space, which can be useful or dangerous.
• Nebulas: Strange gases can affect ship propulsion and control.
